Bowman wins praise for Shergar Cup Dash win at Ascot

Hugh Bowman is winning lots of praise for his riding in England. On Saturday, he guided Dungannon to success in the Shergar Cup Dash at Ascot after finding a gap at a crucial stage of the race. Trainer Andrew Balding said: 'You always need a bit of luck in those races and he does need everything to drop right, but Hugh gave him a lovely ride. The Portland at Doncaster would be the right race now.' In his current stint in the UK, Bowman has ridden 7 winners and 26 placegetters (2nd or 3rd).
